Snow by ValeryAnne.

Just made joining up in time for the first tag.
My tag was cut using the largest die from the bloom shape in X cut Nesties. I used thin cardboard
and then chalked over the surface using colours Ice Blue and Ocean. When dry a thin coating of glue was applied and silver glitter finely sprinkled over. A white trim was added round the edge of the tag and navy rhine stones adhered. The snow flakes were cut using the sizzix die 655628 again from thin card. Two were painted white and two blue with acrylic paint & whilst wet sprinkle with a fine dusting of blue glitter. I then coated each one with a liberal coating of Glossy Accents and left to dry. The cord was made from white and turquoise embroidery threads. I finally attached the snowflakes using sticky pads to give a raised effect. Quite pleased with myself as everything came from my stash so no expenditure.
